Helplessly Hoping

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby

Awaiting a word

Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs

Wishing he could fly

Only to trip at the sound of goodbye
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders

At the empty place inside

Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries

Did he hear a good-bye?

Or even hello?
They are one person

They are two alone

They are three together

They are for each other
Stand by the stairway you’ll see something certain to tell you

Confusion has its cost

Love isn’t lying it’s loose in a lady who lingers

Saying she is lost

And choking on hello
They are one person

They are two alone

They are three together

They are for each other
Beautiful right?
